An AI generated image of the characters in Wizard of Oz and the yellow brick road backed by a cloudy sunset

Is it ounce, is it FUN or is it k*k going down at the Oswald State Penitentiary? At Thunderbolt – the best ZAR casino in cyberspace – oz is all three. Ja nee, Bolts! Oz can mean different things to different people, and you can find the deeper meaning right here. It is not all about Down Under, and that has to be a relief.

Back to the subject at hand; the multiple meanings of oz.

Oz: The Award-Winning TV Series

In Mzansi we know penitentiaries are for show. No-one important ever goes to places like Pollsmoor, C-Max or the Oswald State Correctional Facility. Even when they tell great big whoppers – and under oath, nogal – connected VIPs in Seffrica get away with breaking the law.

That is not the case for the incarcerated characters in Oz. These dudes have to fight for survival every day. It doesn’t matter whether it is Monday, Thursday or Sunday, the inmates of Em City are perpetually at one another’s throats.

Yebo Yes! For Oz and Thunderbolt ZAR Casino!

Tune into Oz the TV show and it is Homeboys versus Wiseguys or the Aryan Brotherhood against anyone who doesn’t have a shiny white skin. All the inmates belong to factions with creatively catchy names like Gays, Bikers, Christians, Latinos and the ANC (only joking, folks). It’s a serious fun factory for the psychos out there.

Who would want to watch an HBO thriller that features more body bags than the Salt River morgue? According to the data, no-one really knows… but women apparently like to watch the series a lot more than men! Based on the 8.3 average rating out of 10, Oz is a blockbuster hit… a bit like Thunderbolt ZAR casino!

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: A Century-Old Literary Classic

In the fabulously entertaining children’s book by Frank L Baum, Oz is a much more likeable guy. He is a wizard with a ginormously long full name. For those who don’t know, the wily old fella is actually called Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmanuel Ambrose Diggs. That’s Oz for short!

Along with Dorothy, Toto and a cast of fantasy characters, Oz has delighted readers for 125 years. Puleeze! Who hasn’t heard of the Scarecrow, Glinda the Good Witch, Glass Cat and A-B-Sea Serpent?

Heck, most of us even know Scarecrow lacks a brain, but, according to universal wisdom, is really only two days old and positively naïve! If you still have no idea on what we’re going on about, here is a clue...

Many of the most iconic elements in the book have permeated into popular culture. Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road, the WW2 strategy game, 1943 Deadly Desert and Cowardly Lion American Sour are a few examples.  Jislaaik, okes, there is even a Tinman triathlon series and it is the oldest series of its kind in Mzansi!

That brings us to our breakout partner developed for mass consumption. It allegedly jumped off the pages of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and onto the reels at the #1 ZAR Casino. We are, of course, referring to our freshly launched online slot machine, and it goes by the name of …

That Is Not the End of Ozzified Things!

When all is said and done, Oz is probably best represented by The Wizard of Oz, the 1939 MGM musical with a very young Judy Garland as Dorothy. Discount the movie, book and the latest release online slot at our ZAR casino, and there are still plenty of Oz’s doing the rounds.

There is Daniel Oz Osbourne, the guitar-strumming boyf in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Switch across to the Scandi zone and Oz is an obscure Finnish Heavy Metal band that recorded songs like ‘Crucified’ and ‘Turn the Cross Upside Down’. Oz is even a multi-paradigm programming language, whatever that means.

Moons and Measurements

Look up and the largest of Pluto’s five moons, Charon is on the oz agenda. This very large satellite has a rough and rugged area covered with craters. Yep, you’ve got it. It is called Oz Terra.

Oz is the abbreviation for ounce. That is a form of measurement no longer in use in South Africa. We prefer to measure things in grams and millilitres instead.

COD and the Prince of Darkness to Thunderbolt ZAR Casino

If you are one of millions of Call of Duty (COD) fans, you’ll have encountered the playable character with Oz for a name. He is exclusive to the Exo Zombies mode in COD: Advanced. That said, of all the ozzified things out there, our fave is the late, great Ozzy Osbourne, Prince of Darkness and lead vocalist of the eighties heavy metal band, Black Sabbath!

If you can’t play a guitar, hold a tune or fly to Pluto’s moon, don’t sweat it. You can always login to our ZAR casino, claim a bonus and get up close and friendly with Toto. He’s the little Welsh terrier in Oz Golden Trails online slot machine and he is wild, you see!
